A tasty and fruity red wine with soft tannin and good depth of flavor is best here: wines like a Portuguese Dão or Bairrada (or dry red port wine), Spanish reds from the Ribera del Duero, Rhône reds with high percentages of Grenache (Gigondas, Côtes-du-Rhône, Lirac.), Italian Dolcetto and Barbera, American Gamay and soft youthful Zinfandel and Syrah.
